CAC Dark Site Reservations

The TAAA Dark Sites are for members and their guests. Each site has days scheduled around the new moon that are hosted by a trained member, during which members are always welcome.

The TIMPA dark site in Tucson, AZ is open at times to members on the days we have a host in residence.

Reservations for the TIMPA site are required and should be submitted on this website any time within 90 days of the date being reserved. This site allows members of the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association to register to observe on a pad or, if you are a certified user, reserve a telescope viewing.

If you do NOT receive a response confirming your reservation within 24 hours from the CAC Reservations Manager, you may follow-up with an email to:

cac-reservations[at]tucsonastronomy.org.

IMPORTANT RESERVATION CANCELLATION/MODIFICATION PROCESS: Go here to MODIFY/CANCEL an existing reservation for a place to stay or equipment you have reserved. If you cannot keep your reservation due to weather or other issues, PLEASE CANCEL it so others may be able to use the site and we know who is on the site. Repeated failures to cancel may result in losing reservation privileges.

If you are unsure about your reservation status, contact the CAC Reservations Manager directly at: cac-reservations[at]tucsonastronomy.org

We encourage suggestions and comments about the reservation system to also go to the Reservations Manager.
